SECAUCUS, N.J. (AP) - Modern technology is steering some drivers the wrong way in northern New Jersey. Truck drivers using GPS devices and online directions to reach an industrial section of Secaucus are reaching only a road block on Fifth Street.

The electronic maps don't show a gate that separates the residential and industrial areas. It's only open for a couple hours weekdays.

Mayor Dennis Elwell says residents started complaining about trucks clogging their street about a year ago as GPS devices increased in popularity. Some drivers have to call police to open the gate when their trucks are too big to turn around.

A spokesman for GPS maker Garmin International says a company has to receive a request or complaint and go through a thorough process before it can add items to map.
